<p>[QUOTE="Vegas Vic, post: 1980972, member: 58810"]That must be nice to have the luxury of the coin dealer. Not to always provide the best possible service to a person. Of not having to act professionally no matter how the other person acts. Being able not to charge a uniform rate, based on your perception of either how much more can I make or how much a person annoys me. Having the ability to spend someone else's time to be able to negotiate a better rate of pay. Not having to acknowledge a persons existence based on what your opinion of them is.</p><p><br /></p><p>I don't have any of these luxeries in my field. I can't even imagine how quickly I would be removed from my workplace if I did any of those things on a constant basis.</p><p><br /></p><p>Because this is the standard I am held to I personally am not interested in buying my coins from anyone who does and if I feel like any of the above is done I take my cash and either buy from someone else at a show or move on. I am the customer and I have the cash. I can pay you the profit or ebay. As a customer with the internet you the coin dealer have competition from every dealer with a website, every dealer who lists on ebay and now even from other collectors online selling their own coins. If you are a dealer you can make a real profit with a customer like me. I buy nice coins. but I don't choose to tolerate behavior that I personally would not be able to display when I am on the job. The thread crapper has some very good points and anyone selling anything would be foolish not to listen. I understand that a dealer does not have all day to just help me just as I expect those I work for to understand that. But I walk away from coins I would have bought rather then tolerate this behavior. And it is not a lost oppertuinity for me because I can go on line and find great coins. I only buy what i like. I don't collect series and am not bound by needing that one coin you might have that others don't. I'm an impulse buyer who just likes pretty coins.</p><p><br /></p><p>It is legal for a coin dealer to treat people any way they want and price as they see fit if there is no misrepresentation going on.
